Fed up :(

Hi, I've just joined (although been lurking for a few weeks) and I thought I'd say hi and have a moan while I'm at it!

I am 36+3 with DCDA twins, and am seriously fed up now. Booked in next Thursday for a c-section, but each day feels like a week, and the next week seems to stretch out forever in front of me.

I'm still suffering with morning sickness, have SPD which has left me pretty much housebound, my feet and ankles look like they've been donated by an elephant, and I'm sick of dropping things and having to get someone else to come pick them up for me! I have no clothes left to wear except trackys, and can only get my puffy feet into crocs (without socks) - I'm sick of looking like a chav.
I've just smacked my bump against the door frame again, which bloody hurts, and I can't sleep Sad but my DP is snoring like a pig in the middle of our bed Angry.

The babies are huge - I had a scan on Tuesday which estimated their weights at almost 6lb and almost 7lb, and they're both lying in very awkward positions - one has her head up under my ribs and her bum down by my side, the other has his head just below his sisters, and his bum is almost breech, but not quite - they're classing him as transverse, so there are kicks and punches all over, and I'm sure the girl is training for her future gold Olympic medal in gymnastics.

I want my body back! I want to be able to go outside and see people - even driving has become very difficult now, and so I only do it when I have to (DP can't drive, or I'd make him do it all), I want to be able to eat, and I'd kill for a cup of coffee (until it's made, then the smell makes me throw up...).

Sorry, I needed that moan - my DP is fed up listening to me, and my kids run a mile when they see me coming these days, cos I generally need them to help me with something!

Thanks. Hope things get better soon. I'm 35 weeks with one baby and it am completely fed up. Can't imagine what it would be like having 2!
Thursday isn't too far away now. Just keep plodding on and it'll be here sooner than you think.
Good luck xxx

Flowers oh Op you have my every sympathy. I am 33 weeks and also not carrying one andi am fed up already too. Just think your CS is less than 7 ads away now.

And welcome to MN.

hi op.
I know its probably harder for you as your carrying twins but just wanted to offer some hope.
Ive been feeling like this since 34 weeks(as peapod will verify) and suddenly I hit 38 weeks on wed and mentally I now feel amazing!
im still aching and v tired but the mental fog and boredom has lifted.
probably because I know the end is in sight.
hang in there.
your almost there!

I remember the fed up feeling very well from dc2 who was almost 10 pounds. I thought carrying him to term and then another 8 days, was bad enough so i cant imagine carrying 13lbs worth of baby!
On the other hand it WILL soon be over and 6 days in the grand scheme of things is'nt that long. You have got this far and are entitled to moan as much as you want and no one can blame you.
Im only 23 weeks with dc3 so ive got all this to come again and cant quite believe it!
I know nothing i can say will make these last few days feel easier but try to focus on the end result and keep positive, good luck for the big day :-)

Oh you poor lady :( I'm only 17+1 and now feel hideously guilty for moaning.
Less than a week you will finally have your beautiful babies in your arms!
Good luck xxxx

Thanks, have managed to keep busy(ish) all day today, so while I'm now very very sore, I'm also shattered and so should hopefully sleep tonight. I've had a show today too, so things might be moving, fingers crossed! Everythings organised and ready for the babies coming, so the sooner the better as far as I'm concerned now.
However, if one more person today informs me that I'm huge, I'll probably slap themAngry

Sounds crap - lots of sympathy here! I'm 34 weeks with only one and fed up enough.
Can you plan little lazy tasks for each day to help them pass? Maybe online Christmas shopping? Make some really easy meals to stick in freezer for when you've no time after? Make the most of lie-ins (not that you're sleeping Confused) while you can.
Just a week to go - you can do it!!

(Realise that's probably an annoying post expecting you to have any energy! Just trying to think of ways you can make time go a bit quicker!)
